' THE GAZETTE.
The old Gaznrra, after a career. of now
more than three score years, appears again
in a new and improved dress. We haVe pro-
cured :1st fonts of clearly cut, copper-faced
type, and think our readers will accord us
the compliment of bearing avery present-
able appearance. The GAZETTE has grown,
since the ar 1800, from a sheet less in size
than our present letter paper, to dimensions
as lurge as any paper in Connecticut.
Th: firm of A. H. Byington & Co., is just
£97: years old with this number, and during
'Ithat. time our circulation has more than
doubled, while our general business has
probably quadrupled. We reasonably ad-
duce from this success, that our constant ef-
forts and aims to make the GAZETTE in all re-
spects a first-class Family Paper,—-devoting
its columns mainly to local news and inter-
est.::,--—have been appreciated by this intelli-
gent, discerning and go-ahead community.
In our duties as Editors, we are forced to
miticise persons and measures, sometimes
with scve; ity, but we know we have never,

/—~ fi:,.igncdly “put aught down in malice,” or

been actuated by selfish 0r unworthy motives
in the discussion of any question through
these columns.

We have, moreover, so fast as our resources
would allow, added to the size of our paper
and improved the equipments of our Jon
OFFICE, now the largest we believe in the
county. From these generous evidences of
appt'cciiiou on this our tin wedding day,
nurkiag also the 68th year of the old GA-
an s existence, we can confidently predict
a still more prosperous future and rapid
rounding of a century of age for the paper,
whatevcr changing vicissitudes may overtake

Its proprictors.

 
 

 

Jolm B. Gough in Norwalk.

We are happy to be able to announce that
JOIIN B. Gouou, the best Lecturer in the
country, has been secured by the Y. M. C. A.
to dcliVer his Lecture, “Peculiar People,” in
Lockwood‘s Hall, Friday evening, Apr. 17th.
The Christian Association have had great
difilculty in obtaining an engagement from
Mr. Gough, and we trust their etl'orts maybe
rewarded and appreciated by a crowded
house. We need urge none who have heard
him, to go, and we think it is simply necessa-
ry to inform those who have not been thus
flIvorcd, that they now can hear him, to se-
corc their attendance.

m
hfl‘he election having passed and the
smoke of battle cleared away, we should
now, as enterprising citizens of one rof “the
loveliest villages of the plain," turn our at-
tention to local improvements and interests.
Om citizens should move en masse for a City
homer and the “Water Works ; for new high-
ways, whither trade and cheap lots for
residences may find development. Our har—
bor should receive immediate attention; our
highways be put in good repair and the cob-
bles raked from the road-beds. In short
there should be a general revival of good
feeling and business among us. Let all new
comers be welcomed with earnest, cordial,
appreciation and aid. Let new houses be
built, lots sold, and Norwalk continue to
prosper.

 

WThc impeachment trial is being rapidly
carried forward by the managers of Congress
and it is confidently afiirmed that the trial
will be at an end before the first of May.—
Meantime legislation is nearly suspended in
either House, while the fate of this “bold,
bad 1119.11,; and accidental president, excites

not even the care or sympathy of his recent

allies and friends, the rebels.

On Saturday the case for the prosecution
was substantially closed, although the mana-
gers reserve the right. to introduce further tes-
timony in the nature of cumulative evidence.
The counsel for the President moved an ad-

. journmeut until Thursday in order to allow
them time to prepare testimony. After dis-

cussion the motion was granted by a vote of

37 to 10, and the court stands adjourned till
Thursday.

 

fig“ One of the most successful and satis-
f Izctory meetings of the entire campaign, was
that of Saturday evening, at Lockwood’s

Hall, and addressed by Governor Curtin of

Pa. That noble patriot, and incorruptible
statesman, held the audience for nearly two
hours in a speech of great power and elo-
queuce. At the conclusion of his address, he
expressed the gratification he had experien-
ced in appearing before a Norwalk audience.
If he was gratified, the audience was delight-
ed. We never saw our people in a happier
or more resolute mood. The meeting was
ver' (a political love feast. Licut. Governor
WOOL ford came down from a monster meet-
ing at Bridgeport, and gave us a sort of clos-
ing doxology, in his usually eloquent and
earnest manner. He remarked his disap-
pointment at not meeting Senator Ferry,as
had been his custom for Inany years past, but
it was some consolation to know that the
Senator was “setting up with a very sick
man" who needed constant watching. The
joke brought down the house.

 

A VERY .‘vIIsr. RAllLE LIE—The copper—de-
mocracy of Notwalk, since taking up An-
drew Johnson, have become seriously con-
cernei about the temperance habits of
General Grant. If he were a rollicking,
whiskey guzzling. reasoning from analogy,it
ought to constitute the strongest claim upon
the democrats for sympathy and support.—,
But they know he is not, and so hope to dam-
age the fair fame of the nation’s chief soldiér,
by circulating the lie of his dcbaucheries.——
One of the latest circulated in Norwalk, is to
the effect that Grant was continuously drunk
from (,‘ulpcpper to Cold Harbor (:1 pretty ex-
tended drunk,) and that our senior, who was
with the army, knows it to be so! There is
such an audacity in democratic lying, that it
frequently mounts to the sublime. We were
with the Grand Army from Culpepper to
Richmond, and we do not remember a day
that we. were not either at Army Headquar-
ters or personally saw- Gcncral Grant, and
1170' can State of him what. we can affirm of
scarcely any other general, we never shw the
first symptoms or indications of the presence
of alcoholic liquors anywhere about General
Grant. But we are not alone in our testimo-

ny. The Hon. Chas. A. Dana, then Assistant
Secretary of War, who joined the army after
its first day’s fight at the Wildei'ness and oc-
cupied quarters in the General’s tent, gives
his testimony or an articie which we

give on outside copied from the N.
Y. St! 71. We have the further testi-
Gen. Howard, the Havelock of the

American Army, who, testifies not only
to Grant's uniform sobriety, but to his rigid:
and total abstinence practice. Scme newlie
must he started. This won’t do.

FAST Dun—Union Religious Services are
to be held on Friday next, in the 2nd M. E.
Church. Rev. 0. W. Gates, of the Baptist
church, will preach the sermon.

THE RESULT.

The result is practically the same as last 1
year, the democracy increasing their majori- ;
ties considerably on the popular vote, and l
the Republicans increasing their majorities ,

iu the Senate and House, thus insuringl
the election of a Republican to the U. S.
Senate in place of James Dixon, democrat, E
and maintaining their control in the State. 3
Mr. English’s majorityuwill probably be !
somewhere between 1,500 and 2,500. In the

House the Republicans lose 8 and gain 17,

so that our majority of 12 last- ycar is in-

creased to 21. In the Senate we 3an two

and perhaps three.

The Republicans hold this state stronger

than last year, and the democrats gained In

majorities. So, while we have not the hon-

or of sweeping the State, we still have deci-

dedlv the best of the election.

N Ow organize for the fall campaign and

let us have no more halfway victories.

The Vote 01' Narwalk.

The whole vote polled in town is 1807, which
is 154 larger than last year. Up-town there
were 1755 more names on fire Registry list
than there were votes cast; in the second
district there were 105 mow; making 278
votes on the registry list not checked. But
while there were many republicans who did
not vote, it is undoubtedly true that there
are many names on the list that do not be-
long there.

The vote for Governor ws as follows :—
Jewell 97 8; English 829; Republican major-
ity 149. Geo. A. Davenport for J udgc of Pro-
bate received 1585 votes.

For Senator, Mr. Strccthaa a majority of
174, running 25 ahead of his ticket. Mr.
Woodward has a majority over Winfield S.
Hanford of 103; Mr. Bell has a majority
over Frank B. Smith of 156. The democratic
Representatives run 20 and 21 behind their

vote for Governor.

f3?” t is Well to not: that if the public will
closely analyze the votes given in the Senate
during the iIIIpcachmcnt trial, it will be dis-
covered that. the charge of partisan action lies
almost wholly at the door of the democratic
adherents to Mr. Johnson. With now and
then a rare exception, they vote solidly in his
favor on all interlocutory question, while on
almost every occasion the republicans are di-
vided according to their convictions. Thus,
within three days, the managers have three
several times been overruled by the Senate
on important questions.

fi—‘r The Times, which, from the very in-
ception of the Impeachment movement, has
left its readers in some little doubt as to its
convictions upon the. matter, deals with Gen.
Butler‘sspccch i=1 a leader of what we might
call the most in genious ingenuity. It may be
read in deiachel fragments with satisfaction
and sympathy by both sides, and may be
thought to bear hardly on the orator or the
delinquent as the eye of the reader falls upon
one or another paragrph. Altogether the
compliment and the censure am so skillfully
balanced, that we are not without a misgiv-
ing, after reading the article to its conclusion,
whether the. Times regards the argument for
the prosecution as sound or the reverse.

“1: was a very sharp and cbvcr piece of
argumentation,“ says the Times, “the meth-
od is systematic, the treaunem coherent, the
argument broader and more dignified than
any of Butler's previous efforts." Surely the
General himself might read this with com-_
placency. “But (alas) he wciitcns the force
of his statement. by unnecessawy violence of
language; he occasionally descends to so-
phistrics that are disgraceful to his reason ;
he attempts to bolster up siim points that had

cttcr been passed over ; he is guilty ofper-
versions that arc more ingcnlus than hon-
ourable; he makes appeals that might be
very effective in a slump speech, but are
grossly offensive in a legal argument address-
ed to such a bgdy as the Senate ; and be ill-
duiges in vitupcration that is entirely mis- ,
placed at the (lpelllllg‘ of such a trial." '

Dr. “’llllnm Smlth’s chtlonary of the
Bible.

We are sure we shall do good service to
our community, by commending to their fa-
vorable notice, the excellent work above in-
dicated. The agent of S. S. Scranton &.Co.,
of Hartford, is now here canvassing our totvn
with this best edition of this best of Bible
Dictionaries All Biblical scholars will
agree, that we have nothing in the language
which can so nearly meet the want Of ordi-
nary Bible students as this work.‘ Nor is
the price of the work, ($0.50,) high, when the
amount of matter in it, is taken into the ac-
count. Setup in the ordinary type of sub-
scription books it would make over 4,000
pages. But the chief value of the work lies
in the good taste and accurate knowledge
shown in the various topics of which it treats.
The uniform testimony of those who have
secured the work, is itself, sufficient proof of
its great value. As we understand it, this
contains all the matter of the largest edition,
as issued by Dr. Smith, except numerous dis-
quisitions and critical notes on original He-
brew and Greek terms, which are of no
practical value to the general English stu-
dent, and is not (we think) the edition lately
condemned by one of our divines, as worth-
less On account of the manner in which it
was abbreviated. Let every one examine
the. work attentively, and when satisfied of its
true worth, purchase it.

_ A PRECIOUS Pun—Much excitement and
; speculation were occasioned in a family in
i this city the other day, by the discovery at
.i dinner, of two gold coins in an apple pie.
The lady of the house herself had made the
? pie, and was puzzled to know where the lit-
} tlc shining tokens came from. They could
not have been in the apples; they might have
been in the flour. But then she had sifted
the flour as usual. It turned out that the
baby had got hold of a little box containing
two such coins, which the lady had had ly-
ing by fbr years, to be made into a pair of
ear-rings. Baby had dropped them into the
dough unobserved.— Worcester 83/1].

Life Insurance.

Mr. James W. Daskam wishes to know if the policy
holders of the Continental Life Insurance Companyof
Hartford, would not be more agreeabb and profitably
interested to hear that the dividend recently declared
by said Company is available and that they can obtain
it by applying for it! To these questions I would re-
ply that the dividend is available and that the policy
holders will receive it without applying for it. Mr. D.
states that “this famous filly per cent. dividend of the
Continental covers a term of five years and is consid-
erably less than an annual dividend of ten per cent.”
If this statement were correct—which it is not—it
would throw the Continental decidedly in the back.
ground. The fact in the case is that this dividend, is
a dividend upon only one year’s business; and that the
Continental will declare a dividend every year Our
way of giving dividends Is as follows :—Any one lusur.
ing with us begins to Ieceive his dividends as soon as
he has made four payments and contieues to Ieceive a
dividendrveryyear thereafter until he has received as
many dividends as he has paid premiums' I will illus-
trate by an example that all may see the gross absur.
fifty of the statement oer. Daskam. Suppose a man
insures with me tc-day. and pays a premium 0119500.)
five hundred dollars. If he chooses to pay all cash
his payments for the first four years will be five hun-
dred dollars: the fifth, his dividends begin. A fifty
per cent. dividend reduce: his payment to Two llun-
dred and Fifty dollars. A sixty per cent. dividend
would reduce it to two hundred and so on. And as
his dividends did not begin until he had paid four pre-
miums they will continue four years after he finishes
paying premiums. That is to say, the person that I
have just supposed, would receive eath year for four
years after he has completed his payments a dividend
in cash, a fifty per cent. dividend giving him two hun-
dred and fifty dollars a year cash. If this person in-
stead of paying all cash had preferred we would have
loaned him half the premium and taken his note for
it; in which case his dividends would be applied on
his notes. All companies whether each or note com-
panies lend their money. A note company lends half
its income to policy holders. For these notes we have
the best security: viz., the policy, and the notes pay us
well because we Iecelvc on them interest annually.
We think it just as well for those insuring to pay half
note for if we are always able to pay a fifty percent.
dividend—which we have every prospect of doing—
the policy holder will never be called upon to pay a
dollarot‘thesc notes.

Mr. D. states further that “the Continental hastlnce
hundred thousand dollars of chartered capital to eat up
the profits of the institution whereas the Mutual Life
has not one dollar." Our capital is three hundred
thousand dollars, and on this capital the stockholders
are allowed-to take eight {er cent. and are limited by
law to this eight per cent.. We say that this eight
per cent. is well expended. because It secures for the
Company the careful oversight of men who are pecu“
nlarially interested to see that the Company is econom-
ically and judiciously managed. Etgbt per cent. on
on three hundred thousand dollars amounts to twen-
ty-four thousand—that is we pay to our stockholders
twenty-four thousand dollars a year to manage our"
Company. Besides this we pay only a few thousand
dollars in salaries. Whereas the Mutual Life are pay-
ing—at least, this is a well authenticated report—
twmty-five thousand dollars a year to one man for his
services. In addition to this, we find in Mr. Barnes’
(Ins. Commissioner for N. Y.) Report that the Mutual
Life in their return for last your report beside the usu-
al expenses or a lib insurance company an expend!-
ture of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars
(”Items not stated"). Now why are the Items not stat-
ed '2 Every body of common sense knows it is be-
cause that money has been expendedju a way that the
public would not approve.

In reply to Mr. Daskam’s last statement that. it costs
us twenty-three per cent. of our income to do business,
and the Mutual Life less than nine, would any that
no company was over organized in the world that can
show for its first four years so good a record as the
Continental of Hartford. Their first dividend is the
largest overpaid by a company of Its age and I have no
doubt that their dividend next year will be as large, if
not larger, than it. Is this and so by strict economy
and integrity we hope in ~the f‘utme as in the past al-
ways to be able to challenge any company in 1110 world
to show that they furnish insurance any cheaper. to
